We know what it is like to dream big for your wedding, and what it takes to pull it off, which is why we love delivering timeless and authentic imagery of every wedding we are fortunate enough to capture. We find immense joy in cultivating friendships with new couples and we want to empower you to have the wedding or elopement of your dreams. We believe in going that one step extra to make sure we do our part and we are here to help from the moment you reach out.
Etta & I got married in 2021, mid Covid when we decided to drag 40 of our closest friends and family up a mountain to our favorite picnic spot in the Los Padres National Forest.

Hey!
I’m Kyle.
My days usually revolve around coffee in various forms, walking our giant wolf dog, making a mess in our kitchen and couch cuddles with my insanely adorable wife. On days off you can often find me at one of our local taquerias or wineries. I am on a never ending quest to find excellent salsa and pinot noir!
I asked for my father’s old camera for my 10th birthday. That childhood curiosity has turned into a lifelong passion and happily a rewarding career. For the past decade I have found an unending love for documenting weddings.
I found an odd ability to remain comfortable navigating bridal suites and wedding day timelines even under immense pressure. I am unafraid to help calm wedding day nerves and I’ve been told I’d make an excellent therapist. For now, I consider myself lucky just to photograph couples’ wedding days.
Hey!
I’m Etta.
After the first wedding I shot with Kyle I knew I was hooked. There is nothing else like being with a couple on their wedding day and knowing you're contributing to a lifetime of memories! I'm there to straighten your necklace and make sure we get pictures of all the flowers.
Kyle and I first connected over photography when we met in college years ago and that passion and creativity binds us still today. My day job is an elementary school teacher, so I'm pretty good at calling out the names for your family photos, but I love being able to step into the photographer's shoes.
For years I've loved taking film photos in my hometown of Santa Barbara or capturing my travels. Kyle is almost a local after 15+ years... and one of our favorite things is sharing our beautiful hometown with new friends!
